This article is written to help people who want to travel to Busan, Korea's leading tourism city. I want to translate and provide it to various languages in order to provide information to people from various countries.
▶What city is Busan?
As the second-largest city and the largest coastal city of Korea, Busan attained its geographical and social importance in Korea during the Korean War as the city that received large influxes of refugees and war supplies. Today, Busan is a beloved destination for Koreans and international tourists alike.

The weather can get quite chilly in Busan during the winter months, but it is still quite rare to see snowfall in this city. The average temperature stays around 3℃ during January. While the winter months tend to have the least amounts of precipitation, the recent climate change makes it difficult to accurately forecast winter precipitation in Busan.
